I was going to add a playing card option to some of my recent designs (the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2015\/03\/09\/summerisle-souvenirs\/\">Summerisle<\/a> one in particular) but there seems to be a fault in the processing at the moment so the ones I&#8217;ve tried haven&#8217;t shown up. This design seems to have worked because it was a png rather than the usual jpg. If I can persuade the software to behave I&#8217;ll add more in future. As usual the price is relatively steep, a consequence of the high base price rather than my rapacity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update:<\/strong> After another CafePress malfunction (or something) my shop vanished.
